Digital audio’s rise made auditory perception knowledge essential to engineers

Evidence

The importance of engineering psychoacoustics has been growing rapidly since the late 1980s. There are several reasons for this. The rapid development of digital audio is one of the most important driving forces. Audio coding and related questions of sound quality showed engineers and scientists how essential knowing the principles of human auditory perception is. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 55
